    Tesamorelin for fat loss

    Has anyone used this for fat burning? I'm 45 and trying to get my bf down to 10-12% but finding it impossible despite my diet and even cardio, I'm coming down in the scale but it's like I'm losing muscle along with it.

    From what I read, it takes around 3 months to start seeing results, so probably around 6 months to get anywhere... and you have to inject every day. Is that something you want to commit to? I would just up the TRT and eat less, do more cardio.

    I'm starting an experiment with tesamorelin as soon as my PS order gets here. Really, it's more of a short run of it to see how it sits with me than anything else. I THOUGHT I had read that it can be fast acting, but @Test Monsterone has me thinking I might have misread.

    It is available as a prescription drug, egrifta, I think. So, presumably it has been well studied and is effective in certain populations. Those populations can include "old people like Cylon357", thus why I'm giving it a look.

    To add, I have had good luck with ModGrf 1-29 and Ipamorelin. And I will be pairing the tesamorelin with Ipamorelin, too.

    Never heard of this. Looks crazy expensive. PSL got it for $25/2mg and according to the injection recommendations you need 2mg/day. That seems insane.


    Tesamorelin for fat loss
    When it's prescribed for lipodystrophy, the typical
    dose of Tesamorelin is:
    2 mg of Tesamorelin
    in one injection each day
    at night, at least 90 minutes after eating

    Ok, so I am blind, what else is new? PSL vials are Unit Size: 10 mg/vial. Doh!

    According to the article Drug Watch: Tesamorelin Update it will take about 26-weeks.
    At 26 weeks, a 15.2% reduction in VAT was seen in the tesamorelin group, compared with a 5% increase in VAT in the placebo group.
    . Think I'll go ahead and try this. $600 I can drop compared to my idiotic initial comments this would have been $4550.

    Dang, if our friends at PSL have it at 25 bucks for 10 mg, domestic, sign me up! I used PS, and it was more expensive.

    Actually, I was just peeping PSL's site. It is not clear what you get. The main link says 2mg and the picture is of a 2mg vial, but then in the details it says 10mg/ml. I will reach out to them for clarification, but $25 per 2mg does seem in line with everything else I am seeing.

    Edit to add pic, no contact info included, just product.

    As a heads up, I just heard from PSL customer support. The tesamorelin they offer is in fact $25 per 2 mg. Expensive, BUT about what I'm seeing elsewhere. They MAY give a bulk discount, I know PS does.

    Nah I’m out. Lol. Discount or not will probably be close to $4k for a 26week cycle. Seems a bit intense to look good on the beach. Might change my mind though, who knows.
